"Ye Qingchen!"

When the crowd caught sight of this young man's face, they immediately let out a gasp of surprise.

This young man was none other than Ye Qingchen!

No one had expected it.

At such a moment, Ye Qingchen actually volunteered to take on the challenge!

"Brother! Don't go!"

Ye Qing secretly tugged at the corner of Ye Qingchen's clothes, whispering anxiously.

Shi Potian was too powerful.

When Chu Yao mentioned it earlier, she was somewhat indignant. In her heart, Ye Qingchen was like a deity, never defeated. How could he fear someone like Shi Potian?

But after witnessing the battle just now, where Shi Potian easily defeated five strong opponents from the previous generation's Bronze Ranking with unparalleled ferocity, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Hong Man and Jiang Churan also called out softly.

Chu Yao was even more anxious, sweating profusely.

She never expected Shi Potian to openly challenge Ye Qingchen on White Cloud Lake, nor did she expect Ye Qingchen to accept. It was clear to discerning eyes that Shi Potian had planned this out.

"Don't worry, I won't get hurt!"

Ye Qingchen responded calmly, putting his hands behind his back as he walked forward, step by step.

The entire White Cloud Manor fell silent.

Everyone was collectively indifferent.

Even though they didn't expect Ye Qingchen to rise and accept the challenge, which was certainly courageous, Shi Potian's strength was overwhelming. Even if Ye Qingchen confronted him, he might not be a match!

"Ye Qingchen, I didn't expect you to actually dare to stand out!" Shi Potian sneered as he crossed his arms, coldly watching Ye Qingchen tread upon the water.

After the previous conflict in the manor, he had investigated Ye Qingchen's identity.

The results were astonishing.

He never would have imagined that this kid wasn't only the top of this generation's Bronze Ranking but also the champion of the Qingzhou Sword Fighting Conference and was known as the 'Dual Absolute in Pill and Martial'.

However.

So what?

The higher Ye Qingchen's status, the more excited Shi Potian became. Only by crushing such a genius would he prove his strength.

"Who is that kid?"

Lingkong staggered from the water, a fist imprint three inches deep in his chest, left by a strike from Shi Potian that nearly broke several of his ribs.

"He is Ye Qingchen..."

Someone nearby immediately explained.

Everyone thought Lingkong would favor Ye Qingchen, but instead, after hearing this, he sighed heavily, saying, "Even if he's talented, he's still too young. Shi Potian's strength and cultivation are beyond ordinary people. Even if he goes up, he's just asking for death!"

Hearing these words, those who had a glimmer of hope for Ye Qingchen were all taken aback.

"Why did he come?"

Lei Qianjue watched Ye Qingchen walk on water, eyes full of shock.

"Didn't expect him to actually dare to stand out!"

Lu Changsheng's gaze was complex beside him.

Although he didn't like Ye Qingchen, at this moment, he had to admire Ye Qingchen's courage. If it were him, he wouldn't have the guts to accept the challenge at a time like this.

After all.

Shi Potian was too strong!

"Even if he has the courage, so what?"

"Having just courage isn't enough to defeat Shi Potian."

"Coming out at this time just adds a more perfect battle record for him!"

Most people present shared this view.

Although Ye Qingchen's reputation had recently skyrocketed, his foundation was too thin to confront a terrifying existence like Shi Potian. He was likely to lose in one move.

"Haha, this kid still dares to come out! If I were him, I'd stay hidden like a turtle!"

"He wants to play the hero, but unfortunately, this time he's facing Senior Brother Shi from our Spirit Coffin Sect!"

The Spirit Coffin Sect disciples were full of mocking smiles.

"Why wouldn't I dare to stand out?"

However.

Facing the ferocious Shi Potian, Ye Qingchen remained casual, walking on the lake as if he weren't facing a powerhouse from the Tongxuan Continent's Spirit Coffin Sect, but rather taking a leisurely stroll in a park.

"As someone from Celestial Peak Country, I can't let you humiliate our country like this. When you defeated Feng Xinglie earlier, I wanted to stand out, but Duan Yuan and Lingkong stepped in first, so I held back."

"Originally, I thought others would challenge you. But I didn't expect you to publicly call me out by name!"

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to come!"

Shi Potian was too aggressive. Even if Lingkong and the others didn't step up, Ye Qingchen would have. To let this guy know that not only is he not to be trifled with, but Celestial Peak Country is not to be humiliated lightly.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Ye Qingchen's calm response, Shi Potian laughed wildly, jealousy burning in his eyes, "Earlier in the manor, I spared you. Let's see how you escape this time!"

Boom!

With that, Shi Potian suddenly stomped the water.

The vast White Cloud Lake suddenly churned, massive waves rising instantly, transforming into a raging sea. Clawing with his hand, he grabbed fiercely at the air.

"Tear!"

This grab seemed like it would tear the very fabric of space, countless sinister winds swirling in its wake. Five white streaks cut through the air. This claw was several times faster and more powerful than when he faced Duan Yuan and the others earlier.

Almost instantly, it was right in front of Ye Qingchen.

"Watch out!"

Chu Yao sprang up in alarm, shouting.

There was a commotion all around.

Seeing this claw, Zuo Xinyu's face turned pale. If Shi Potian had used this move earlier, it would have not only shattered his Light Splitting Illusionary Shadow Sword but also torn him in half on the spot.

"How will he defend against this move?"

Everyone watched intently.

They just saw.

Facing this fierce attack, Ye Qingchen showed no sign of panic. Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a sudden step forward, forming a fist, and striking back at Shi Potian with force.

Ye Qingchen was actually directly confronting Shi Potian?

Seeing this scene.

Everyone could not help but gasp in shock.

"Haha, daring to clash with me, I'll crush your right hand!" Shi Potian laughed loudly, a sinister glint in his eyes, his claw not slowing but speeding up threefold.

Fist and claw collided.

Then, the hidden power within exploded entirely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying aftermath immediately swept outwards in all directions. White Cloud Lake erupted, dozens of water spouts shooting skyward. An overwhelming gale, centered on the two, swept out, knocking everyone around the lake off their feet!

Such terrifying power clash.

The crowd was shocked pale, staring forward.

The Spirit Coffin Sect disciples sneered, "He's dead for sure, only at Profound Pill First Heaven, daring to clash directly with Senior Brother Shi. Senior Brother Shi has reached Profound Core Fourth Heaven!"

However.

Before the words were finished.

A sudden gasp was heard.

Then they saw.

Amidst the surging waves, a figure shot out, streaking several hundred meters through the air, crashing onto the lake surface, and rolling another several hundred meters across the water, creating a dragon's wake.

The figure blasted away was Shi Potian.

Under the disbelieving gazes, Ye Qingchen emerged on the water's surface, looking at the fierce Shi Potian rising again, shaking his head as he said:

"You're nothing special after all!"
